Berlin-based startup Elephant has closed a funding round of more than €5 million. The round is led by EnBW New Ventures and WEPA, with business angels from the ecosystems of Flix, home24, Quentic, SB21, and Topi participating. The company shared the news in a LinkedIn post.

Elephant is tackling a problem most companies know all too well: knowledge sitting in PDFs and PowerPoint files, collecting dust while frontline teams struggle to find what they actually need. In production, logistics, service, and retail, critical know-how is often passed on verbally or locked in outdated training materials.

The startup's answer is an AI-powered course builder that turns complex internal processes into interactive micro-learning content in just a few clicks. A mobile app brings training directly into daily workflows, while an AI assistant delivers context-aware answers right at the point of need. No training room required.

"With deeply embedded AI agents, learning becomes process-near, personalized, and available right at the point of need," said Pascal Beckers-Jaleta, Investment Principal at EnBW New Ventures.

The fresh capital will go into growing the team and further developing the platform. The goal is to close a gap that digitization has largely overlooked: making knowledge instantly accessible to the people doing the actual work on the ground.

Co-CEO and Co-Founder Maurice Zomorrodi summed it up: knowledge collecting dust in files helps no one. The focus is on getting it to the people who make the operational difference.
